Pine Lakes Episode Six by Christopher Motz (Narrated by Joe Hempel)

Episode Six of Pines Lakes (Who’s Afraid Podcast)

5 out of 5 stars

If you’re unfamiliar with serialized fiction – it’s the idea that you take a story and separate it out into episodes – like a TV show.  These are usually released on a website or as a podcast. I’ll be reviewing each episode separately as they come out to provide an episode by episode review of the story. Check out my review of Episode One and Episode Two, Episode Three, Episode Four, Episode Five.

Some of my reviews may contain spoilers to past episodes – I’ll try and keep that to a minimum but I can’t guarantee anything.

Wooow what an episode.  Literally, every episode is like an episode of The Twilight Zone.  They keep stumbling into weirder and more different situations. Episode six was no different and easily the most messed up.

They stumble into a small town, which we later find out is the town of Pine Lakes, and are greeted by a couple who offers to take them in out of the rain and into their “house” (a former drug store).  They are given food and told to relax for the evening.  From there on, without spoiling anything, just know you are in for some shock and awe and also some true “wtf” moments.

Motz was able to write a book that just keeps me coming back for more.  This might be one of the more wtf-esque chapters I’ve read in some time but I also need to know what happens next. Thankfully, I’ll know more on Tuesday – but just enough to keep me coming back next week as well.

Overall, the best episode yet, in my opinion.  I can’t wait to see what happens in the town of Pine Lakes in the next episode of Who’s Afraid.

I’ve loved reading since I was little when my dad would read me Dr. Suess books. Fast-forward a little and I noticed that he was always reading on his lunch breaks at work, and I wondered why.Then, I found a book that took me to another place and time, to another feeling,another sense of “being”.It was the first book that I ever fell in love with, and I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since.
